There are several WMS clients around but you'll find very few WFS 
clients. Here are a few links:

- MapLab's MapBrowser is a WMS client:
    http://www.maptools.org/maplab/index.phtml

- Chameleon v1.0 is all about WMS client applications, version 1.1
   still under development will make it less WMS-centric:
    http://www.maptools.org/chameleon/index.phtml

- I believe Degree also has a WMS client:
    http://deegree.sourceforge.net/

- And GeoServer also has at least a WFS client:
    http://geoserver.sourceforge.net/

- Also a 100% client side JavaScript WMS client:
    http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?JavaScriptMapServer

I know this list is very incomplete... these are just the first names 
that I thought about.
